Australind 27 November 2006

After saying goodbye to Rod and Kerrie, we headed south to pick up our mail. This was the first time we had to drive through any city traffic towing the 4WD and it did get quite hectic – Peter was not very impressed with the manners of WA drivers, but perhaps he was out of practice with city driving. Checked out the Perth Ski Park for future camping and saw the rig owned by a couple we met in Broken Hill - David and Janet. We left them a cheerio note and were surprised we found them 7 months later. We noted all the coastal development along the water that is booming in WA and they are digging up all the natural bits in the prime positions – it looks like the water developments around the Gold Coast, with houses squeezed in and lots of artificial canals. Settled down north of Australind at a lovely camp we found – right on the beach and looking at a quiet bay untouched by development.
